Stability and Hopf bifurcation analysis of a delayed phytoplankton-zooplankton model with Allee effect and linear harvesting

  • Received: 06 October 2019 Accepted: 08 December 2019 Published: 23 December 2019
  • In this article, a delayed phytoplankton-zooplankton system with Allee effect and linear harvesting is proposed, where phytoplankton species protects themselves from zooplankton by producing toxin and taking shelter. First, the existence and stability of the possible equilibria of system are explored. Next, the existence of Hopf bifurcation is investigated when the system has no time delay. What's more, the stability of limit cycle is demonstrated by calculating the first Lyapunov number. Then, the condition that Hopf bifurcation occurs is obtained by taking the time delay describing the maturation period of zooplankton species as a bifurcation parameter. Furthermore, based on the normal form theory and the central manifold theorem, we derive the direction of Hopf bifurcation and the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions. In addition, by regarding the harvesting effort as control variable and employing the Pontryagin's Maximum Principle, the optimal harvesting strategy of the system is obtained. Finally, in order to verify the validity of the theoretical results, some numerical simulations are carried out.
